Music to be played in background at certain points in the script, including a TV-style theme tune, to be chosen at producer's discretion. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.

Style

Full-length farce on a single set - which is both a bookshop and a hotel lobby.

Synopsis

Mortimer and Philomena run a hotel with their child, Alexus. But this is no normal hotel - for one thing, it’s in a bookshop, and for another, the clients and owners are from outer space!

Minimum Male roles = 4. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 52. Chorus. Three of the characters (two in one sketch, one in another) are intended to be played by children.

Run Time

Around 90 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

Piano and vocal scores for the opening and closing songs are supplied with the Producer's copy of the script. (Original lyrics, music by Sir Arthur Sullivan)

Style

A revue - a set of 17 comedy sketches and songs, varying in length from one to ten minutes. Basically a family show, but includes mild swearing in a few of the sketches.

Synopsis

A collection of sketches, including opening and closing songs, five Great Moments from History, two French Lessons, three monologues, a very small circus, the ante-rooms to the after-life, a spoof of a medical soap opera, a martial arts demonstration and the Dead Carrot sketch. [Note that some of the longer sketches are also available individually.]

Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 20. Minimum total without doubling = 35. Chorus. All characters except Alice can be played by any gender. Chorus can be doubled from actors not in current or adjacent scene.

Run Time

Around 86 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

The producer's copy of the script suggests seven popular songs which might be used with the script. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.

Relaxing on a warm summer’s day, Alice spots an agitated white rabbit in a waistcoat with a pocket watch. Unable to control her curiosity, she chases after him and tumbles down a rabbit hole into a surreal wonderland of talking animals. She now faces many adventures in her struggle to return home and her attempts to make sense of this world. This show, written for large youth theatres, adheres closely to Lewis Carroll’s original story 150 years after it was first published.

Minimum Male roles = 5. Minimum Female roles = 7. Minimum total with doubling = 18. Minimum total without doubling = 18. No chorus. The difficult characters to cast could be the three bears and the occasional wolf (assuming that you already have a vampire in your company).

Run Time

Around 80 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

None.

Style

Comedy play in two acts and in verse. This edition is designed for performance by adults.

Synopsis

The Adventures Of Goldilockpick And Little Red Riding HoodlumA rhyming romp for some familiar characters in unfamiliar juxtaposition. (It's a family show, but there is stage business including bottom pinching and flashing of comedy undewear, which may be inappropriate for a performing company of kids, therefore there is a separate 'family edition' of the show designed for performance by kids.)

King Confort is worried. He can't find a citizen who is willing to criticise him or his government, and tradition demands the execution of a critic to accompany his birthday celebrations. Discouraged, he informs his Astrologer that, dissatisfied with endless gloomy predictions, he has written into his will that the Astrologer must die fifteen minutes after the king breathes his last. The king's sisters then gang up on the Astrologer, pressuring him into predicting that the king will die, in the hope of worrying him into an early grave. Into all this confusion come a heavily disguised princess and her father, investigating the kingdom before her marriage to the king. All sorts of unfortunate and unforeseen consequences follow!

After a particularly challenging presidential election, a family decides they need to take a driving vacation across America. Along the way they meet a collection of colorful characters who restore their faith in the country. This surprisingly patriotic yet non-­partisan comedy showcases the best of the American spirit.

Around 60 minutes. [Estimated!] The original production took 50 minutes.

Music

None.

Style

Comedy whodunnit with adult themes. Two almost identical kitchen sets!

Synopsis

When Jim and Jani hold an Open Morning to sell their house, a mix-up in arrangements sends them some extremely unusual prospective buyers, some with bizarre expectations. Twenty-four hours later, the house has become a crime scene and the police need the help of the neighbours, Fred and Molly.

Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 20. Minimum total without doubling = 54. Chorus. In order to be faithful to Jules Verne, most of the characters are written male. How you cast them is up to you! (For example, whilst it was not so in Fogg's day, the Reform Club is now open to women!)

Run Time

Around 90 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

Piano and vocal score for seventeen songs and nineteen pieces of incidental music is provided with the producer's copy of the script.

Style

Full-length school musical based on Jules Verne's novel. By the nature of the story, there are a lot of locations, but these can be presented in as simple or complex a way as you please.

Synopsis

Phileas Fogg accepts a wager to travel around the World in Eighty days. Armed with only Passepartout (his trusty French manservant) and pursued by a detective, he sets out, venturing via Egypt, India (where he acquires a princess!), Japan and the USA.
